I am a licensed mental health counselor who seeks to help clients gain insight into their mental health and/or substance abuse issues. Part of my focus is on empowering clients through self-awareness and self-compassion. I understand the power of dynamics and also work with couples and families to find cohesion. Faith-based counseling is available as well. Read
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Getting to know you is my primary goal and objective. In our first session we discuss the nature of therapy, what your expectations are and an understanding of the role that you want me to play as your therapist. We will complete a Biopsychosocial assessment that helps me to understand you in various categories, and from this we develop interventions, tools, activities that can help you to address your presenting concerns and reasons for coming to therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My Greatest strength as a provider is to "torment" that thing that "torments" my clients. Empowerment, and helping my clients to identify their personal strengths and accomplishments is a passion of mine. I believe strongly in the gift of wisdom, and believe that no client is defined by the complications they have faced. I enjoy educating my clients on theories, and mental health interventions so that they are able to gain deeper insight into underlying factors that might contribute to their issues, and then encourage the change in mindset that would inhibit growth.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have always believed in the strength of compassion. Throughout my childhood, this strength allowed me to serve others. I believe in the lessons of life and the influence of each stage of life. I strongly believe in acquiring wisdom, understanding, and knowledge and base my therapeutic model on these principles. I am clear, direct, and compassionate and believe that each person has an amazing story to share. I understand that the process of therapy can be challenging and believe that each person has a unique and purposeful answer to his/her own life's journey. I have had 10+ years of experience working in mental health and substance abuse. I am well-versed in group and individual counseling in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse recovery, grief and loss, and self-esteem.
